SECTION-A
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE.
Assume any reasonable value for missing data.

1. (a) Vierendeel Steel Trusses, spaced 20' apart" are used to support a slab carrying a total
factored load of 30 psf (Figure 01). Each truss consists of 10 panels 6 ft x 10 ft each.
Determine shear force of chords at panel 3, 4 and bending moment of web between panel
3 and 4. (14)
(b) Differentiate between: (9 13')
(i) Pretensioning and Posttensioning
(ii) Bonded and Unbonded Tendors
(iii) 'vault' and 'barrel shell'

2. (a) A concrete rectangular beam 500 mm by 750 mm has a simple span of 7.3 m and is
loaded by a uniform load of 40 KNlm excluding its own weight. The beam is prestressed
with a parabolically curved tendon as shown in Figure 02 that produces an effective
prestress of 1620 KN. Compute extreme fiber stresses at a location 3.0 m from left
support applying 2nd concept (Prestressing for combination of high strength steel with
concrete). Assume self weight of the beam as 5 KN/m. (15)
(b) Briefly explain the first concept "Prestressing to transform concrete into an elastic

material" showing the effect of eccentricity of tendon. (813')

3. Write down the differenced between meridional thrust and hoop stress in a dome. Derive

the equation of hoop stress in a dome due to a concentrated load at the crown. (2313')

4. (a) Why high strength concrete and steel are used in prestressed concrete? (4 13')
(b) A posttensioned bonded concrete rectangular beam has a prestress of 1650 KN in the
steel immediately after prestressing, which eventually reduces to 1450 KN due to losses.
The beam carries a uniformly distributed live load of 4.0 KNlm and three point live loads
of 40 KN in addition to its own weight of 6.0 KNlm (Figure 03). Compute the extreme
fibre stresses in the concrete (using gross section) at a location 5.0 m from left support, (i)
under the initial condition with full prestress and no live load and (ii) under the final

condition, after the losses have taken place and with full live load. (19)

SECTION -B
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE.

5. Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for all the girders of the frame as
shown in Figure 4. Use Cantilever method. Values in circles indicate cross sectional areas

of the column. (2373')

6. Using approximate method of analysis for gravity loads, draw the bending moment
diagrams for all the columns and girders and also the axial force diagrams of the columns
for the frame shown in Figure 4. Use 2 k/ft uniformly distributed load (UDL) acting
downwards on all the girders and disregard the lateral loads shown. All the columns have

same cross section and are uniform throughout the height. Use un-factored load. (2373')

7. (a) Describe architectural significance of regular structures and also the structural
benefits that can be utilized for the regularity. (4)
(b) Determine design dead load (DL) and live load (LL) for the column CI in Figure 5 at
the ground floor level of a 9 storied building. Given that, slab thickness = 6 in., floor
finish = 25 psf, partition wall loading = 50 psf and live load = 60 psf. Consideration for
self-weight of beams and columns is not necessary. Now, design this column as a square
tied column to support gravity loads only using f~ = 4 ksi and fy = 60 ksi. Assume a

proper steel ratio within limits and design the necessary ties also. (1973')

8. (a) If a servIce core is constructed with reinforced cement concrete, what are the

advantages it can add from the view point of structural stability?

(b) A three storied shear wall is subjected to lateral forces as shown in Figure 6. The wall
is 15 feet long and 12" thick. Design the shear wall for both moment and shear. All the
relevant formulae are provided in Annexure 1. Use f~ = 3 ksi and fy = 60 ksi. (18)
